Dr. Dan welcomes two new guests to talk about parenting --and how parents can take care of themselves.
Moving Beyond Your Child's Diagnosis with Debbie Reber
Dr. Dan welcomes back
his colleague and friend
Debbie Reber,
founder of
TILT Parenting
and host of the
TILT Parenting Podcast
(which just hit two million downloads!). Debbie created TILT to support parents raising "differently-wired" kids and her work has shifted the conversation around how neurodiversity is perceived and experienced in the world. She emphasizes parenting with joy and acceptance for all children. Her book
Differently Wired
was recently released in paperback.
Today Dr. Dan and Debbie talk about their own intimate and personal stories about raising their differently wired kids. The episode includes advice about navigating the stages of a diagnosis from a "fix it stage" mindset to frustration and fear and finally to reframing and acting - and ultimately shifting to what will work for your individual child.
Debbie is featured on the
Parenting in Place 9-Week Masterclass Series
, with her session on "
A Conversation About Finding Peace," with author Christine Carter, starting July 22. Registration for the entire series- including access to replays, a bonus bundle, and more - is $39. (Replays are available for any live events you miss.) See the whole line up and register here.
